Default Need help!!!

Someone please help me... I am trying to install my front Z51 sway bar on my base coupe. I am having trouble. Would someone who has done this please let me call them and ask some questions? I have the old bar off but the new one will not go on. I don't know what to do. If someone will give me their phone number, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
Reggie

Maybe no one knows?

Then again, you didn't really give a whole lot of details about the problem you're facing


"I'm trying to install but am having problems" is pretty generic. Exactly what are the problems?

Dude:

Too much smoke inhalation. Lighten up!! Give other members a chance. With your attitude you may NEVER get the help you ask for.

In any event, best of luck with the install

I went through the shop manual and there weren't any tricks to getting the new one on that I noticed. As I read it the manual basically said remove the old one and install the new one.

I've never done one on this car so I can't be of much help.

Sorry,

John

Hey brother, hope your answer is solved. Now to the facts, your post came up @ 730 Texas time? Could have been 830 or 930 EST depending on where you sit. A lot of people are off line on here after dinner like myself unless it's a quiet night @ the Firehouse Issues such as this are help by pics of parts ,the area of car your working on, etc. and not to be a Vette snob just speaking from experience you are better of posting in the Z section where a larger % of owners have some and some have a lot of mechanical expertise or the C6 Tech/performance section. Be safe BTW PM me anytime in the future and as long as I'm on I'll respond.
